WIRX Pharmacy recently disclosed a data breach affecting 20,104 individuals after unauthorized access to certain systems in December 2025. The breach exposed sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers. Four Maine residents were among those impacted.
On or about December 7, 2025, WIRX became aware of suspicious activity within its computer environment. In response, the organization promptly launched an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the event.
The investigation revealed that between December 6, 2025, and December 7, 2025, data from certain systems was accessed or acquired without authorization. After identifying the unauthorized access, WIRX conducted a detailed review of the impacted files to determine what personal information was involved and which individuals were affected.
On January 23, 2026, WIRX confirmed that the files involved in the breach contained personal information. In total, 20,104 individuals were affected by this external system breach, including four Maine residents.
The personal information potentially exposed includes:
Name
Social Security number
Because Social Security numbers were involved, this breach presents heightened risks for identity theft and fraud. Even if misuse has not yet been detected, the exposure of such sensitive identifiers can lead to fraudulent tax filings, new account fraud, or other financial crimes.
On February 5, 2026, WIRX began notifying individuals by posting notice to its website. On the same date, it submitted notice to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and relevant media outlets in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). On or about February 12, 2026, WIRX began mailing written notice to approximately four Maine residents.
In response to the incident, WIRX notified federal law enforcement and began reviewing its policies and procedures to strengthen information security safeguards. The organization has emphasized its commitment to protecting personal data and preventing similar incidents in the future.
Healthcare-related breaches can be especially concerning because they may involve sensitive personal and medical information. Even when only certain identifiers are confirmed as exposed, the risk of long-term harm remains.
